Hi guys

I need your help. I'm in the middle of my build and wanting to know if anyone has used Tomei procam 270 with 10.8mm lift in/ex on their rb26/30 build?

It's the full mac daddy build and going into my pro drift car.

Bottom end is JE pistons 8.2:1, nitto I beam rods, Ross balancer, tomei pump etc etc.

I need to know if these cams will be beneficial for drifting where I am chasing mid to top end power (on off throttle a lot) also need to know if they mite be to laggy?

I think you can also get 260duration cams with the same lift?.any better??

Thanks in advance!

Will take a while to fill those cylinders - why did you go for such low compression?

Re the cams - have a read though the "what cams would you choose" thread below.

I think you might know Joe Kyle? He said to stay with that standard compression ratio. I wanted more but he talked me down ? lol

I would've thought too big. For a drift car you want instant snappy power. With such low comp and big sticks I think you'll struggle to achieve that unless you've got a small super responsive turbo which then defeats the purpose of the big cams cause you're not going to achieve massive top end anyway! With that comp you will be able to push big boost into it but that will only make it a slug until it hits boost then you'll have a huge top end which wouldn't suit drifting.

I would think Poncams would be a lot more suited if you even bother with cams at all.

If it's not too late I'd bump comp up to 9.5:1 and get a mid sized turbo (presume single?) so you've got an engine that makes power straight away then a turbo that comes in not too soon after.

What power are you chasing?

Rb30et is 7.8 to1.

OK just looked up the RB30 PDF and that says RB30E is 8.2:1 and the RB30ET 7.1:1 (although the exact figure would depend on what twin cam head you were using) but whatever that's going back a few years - today you would want better than 9:1 or even more if using E85

ok I've got some 260 10.25 inlet and 270 10.8mm ex, talked to a few tuners who suggested that duration. Also Ive got JE pistons so i think they only come in 8.2:1 or 9.1? Too late anyhow they've been ordered :wacko: Will post results when all together :bunny:

Too late then!

The lower comp should give you a huge top end when you chase it later on (with big boost) I just hope it does the job for you in the meantime.

Maybe you can just hold it at 6000 rpm minimum with some mad anti lag system and it'll be perfect!

I just ran some injector cleaner through her. started roughly the first time after adding it but gave it the beans slowly upto 4k, Must have cleaned a few cobwebs out. another step in the right direction for the sub

      Sadly I can confirm if you are actually seeking to drift, you will quite easily spin up one wheel. Even if you're going in a straight line. I am not entirely sure of the metrics/terminology here but there's only a certain amount that the helical will actually spin both wheels. I've seen it on video with my own car where two lines of smoke switch over to just one after you really get in to it. Unlike with a clutch diff where you can keep your foot planted until the car regains grip, in my experience with the helical you want to be utilizing traction control allowing LIMITED slip or lifting (partially) when you start to spin up both tyres with a Nissan helical. Which makes them pretty sub optimal for drifting duty. That said... this is probably a helical on numbers alone. Just put the Kazz in

      Let's just fix the problem by f**king the rest of the gearbox.

      Unlikely, as per Greg's post. This is not helical diff behaviour unless one wheel is up off the ground. Shimming what? You don't "shim" a mechanical LSD. Probably not in the sense that you have heard of people "shimming" a diff. And the process that Nissan f**kwits call "shimming" a diff involves super-preloading a VLSD cartridge against the side of the diff to create a friction/wear point (in a place that it wasn't supposed to have one) to make the sloppy, useless, viscous diff into a hybrid viscous/mech abortion. In case it isn't clear, I consider the process to be stupid. Nike.

      By Duncan · Posted

      How much does the shifter move when the car is in gear with the engine off? If it is more than about 1cm you need to replace your shifter bush. Your shifts will just get crunchier, not faster, with a short shifter unless you also rebuild the whole box
